Hi. I am hoping that someone will know the answer to these 2 questions.
First my DH has said he is sure he has seen something recently (a case?) which said that those returning to work after maternity leave do not have to be treated in the same way as others who have not been on leave when it comes he thinks to salaries. He seems to think that it is ok, for say, the only returner in an office to receive a smaller pay rise then the rest of the office on this basis. I thought returners needed to be treated the same as others but maybe something has recently changed? Anyone know what he is talking about or is he wrong?
The second question - I may be confused here. I think that if you are only off for the 6 months leave then there is an obligation for your company to keep your role for you. I think however that if you take extended leave (say up to one year) that you may not get your exact role back although it needs to be something comparable. Again does anyone know where I have got this from and if it is correct?
Finally is this the right board to put this on or do you rhink "employment matters" is better - always confused about the difference between the 2!
Thanks a lot
